Welcome

TO THE NEW ZEALAND CATHOLIC EDUCATION CONVENTION, 2018

The Board and staff of the New Zealand Catholic Education Office extend a warm welcome to the 2018 Catholic Education Convention.

The 2018 Convention will bring together Catholic educators, Bishops, priests, school trustees and a range of others associated with our national Catholic education system.

Our Catholic schools make up 8.4% of the total schooling provision for New Zealand children. We educate some 66,000 children. It is a high achieving sector closely aligned with the mission of the Church. At the Convention we will have the opportunity to be strengthened by our sense of community and renewed in a sense of mission.
